Why an Inclusive Environment?
An inclusive environment creates an atmosphere where a globally diverse workforce and the contributions people of different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives bring to TI are recognized and valued.

An inclusive environment is also one where employees feel that there are no artificial barriers to their success and where all TI employees worldwide can contribute. Such an environment is important because it focuses on TI’s need for highly-effective, global teaming and trust. It enables TI to leverage global talent and thinking as a competitive business advantage.

What is Diversity?
Diversity in today’s global business environment is all the ways in which people differ. This includes the obvious differences such as race and gender, as well as differences in work styles and thoughts or ideas.

The business reasons for an inclusive environment
At TI, we believe working in a diverse and more inclusive environment improves productivity.

Diversity of thought promotes creativity. Groups that create an inclusive environment have been shown to produce better solutions to problems and a higher level of critical analysis. This type of working environment is vital in the fast-paced electronics industry that regularly undergoes tremendous change.
